Florida State's Attorney Angela Corey has been indicted by a citizens' grand jury, convening in Ocala, Florida, over the alleged falsification of the arrest warrant and complaint that lead to George Zimmerman being charged with the second degree murder of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.

Why should a citizens' grand jury indicting a corrupt special prosecutor enjoy less legitimacy than the corrupt Information filed by the special prosecutor herself? Did the special prosecutor not convert the proceedings against George Zimmerman into a vigilante?

“This not a lawful proceeding. It is a citizen action having no authority in our judicial system.”

Although I agree with the “findings” this reminds me of the several civilians who have attempted to “arrest” Dr. Kissinger or VP Dick Chaney. I read Cheny KO’d some guy who attempted to put Chaney in handcuffs. These citizen action groups are potentially dangerous to themselves and others. They’re like the guy who liked to hit politicians in the face with a pie. Eventually, that guy will get killed because it’s hard to know it’s a political statement and not cover for an assasination.

It is very unfortunate to seee your ridicule of the notion of the citizen’s grand jury. It is in fact one of the most important safeguards in self government used to resist tyrannical government. Apathetic citizens have allowed this power to be stolen from them since the late 19th Century. Previously and when the U.S. Constitution was enacted, Citizens had the power to remove corrupt government officials from office and punish criminals who had the protection of government officials by bringing an indictment through the grand jury system. This power was curtailed and subsequently removed by the class of politicians and lawyers seeking to consoliate effective political power in their own few hands. This erosion of the public safeguards were then extended with the dismantling of the public militias, the elimination of the State powers to appoint andd remove U.S. Seenators, and the unilateral creation of the staning doctrine by a renegade SCOTUS and judiciary monopolized by lawyers and their exclusive bar associations. Gone are the prwers enjoyed by U.S. Citizens prior to these usurpations of self government.
